AMD held its Financial Analyst Day with the company's heavyweights discussing its recent product rollouts such as the Ryzen range of CPUs and also revealed some exciting details about future product launches. Among them was the confirmation that AMD is indeed planning a new range of high-end desktop (HEDT) CPUs with even more cores than the current Ryzen 7 that is equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads.
AMD's Ryzen Threadripper could very well be the most powerful consumer CPU ever introduced. With 16 cores and 32 threads, it gives the high-performance Intel products currently dominating the same space something to worry about. AMD's Jim Anderson introduced the new CPU as "Ryzen Threadripper" instead of the "Ryzen 9" moniker that had been rumored.
The only Threadripper AMD formally announced was the 16-core part. Yes, we know you've seen reports of 14, 12, and 10-core versions. AMD also announced a new data center CPU too. Called EPYC, AMD CEO Lisa Su took to the stage to reveal the 32-core, 64-thread CPU, which supports 128 PCI-E lanes, 16 channel DDR4 memory using 32 DIMMs and support for dual-socket as well with an Infinity Fabric-coherent interconnect for two EPYC CPUs. The new Threadripper CPUs won't be compatible with the current AM4 CPU socket, which sports 1331 pins, but instead will demand a whole new socket with a massive 4094 pins.
